Maybe that one male will realize he doesn't need to be the king of the world for one night and go join his brother and sister and snuggle up together for the night.

Yes, they should be. With the wind, the rain will get blown around a bunch so they should be able to tuck up against the wall and keep themselves much drier than we think. They are able to thermoregulate, have a downy undercoat now to act as insulation (like their parents) and know how to preen to keep their flight feathers in good shape and protective. The fact that the vent chick is asleep in the wind and rain should give you a clue as to how concerned the little darlings are about the weather ... as for rain collecting in the nestledge, the rain we are forecasted to receive is over a day or more so shouldn't be like 2008, but they are now able to stand above the water and if need be, hop up on the nestledge edge if they so desire ... may not be what we desire, but we have lost control of these little darlings at this point ...

Sorry, can't tell you what the problem was with the Forum precisely, but it was fixed easily enough when I did a little extra maintenance. Might mean that I have to do a BIG maintenance overhaul this weekend, but will let you all know if I do - after I've made sure that the whole thing is backed up. If you want more information - I will be posting more details in "The Forum" section, not here.
BOT - the wind is coming up on the ledge. Female & one male chick are tucked in the north corner, dopey male chick two is still sitting on the vent, kid is just like his Dad ... ::)

Thanks for getting things up and running so quickly. Given all the traffic - I'm almost surprised that we haven't had more blips. You guys do an amazing job!
Thanks for the update on the foot close ups - I saw those earlier today and figured that there must be some reason. Any luck on determining if it's the same chick - or is it still to soon to tell?
Someone looks like they just finished gnawing of some left overs and now time for some flapping - the girl I think.
